NYC theater tickets?
 
Is BroadwayBox.com legitimate for NYC theater tickets? Their prices are very good-almost too good to be true so I'm skeptical. Has anyone actually purchased from this company??

Thanks!

Yes, they are definitely legitimate! You have absolutely nothing to worry about. They (along with playbill.com and other sites) offer discounts on shows that are not selling out.

Yes, they are legit. You can even print out their prices and go directly to the theater box office and purchase tickets for the advertised price. I have done this several times.

broadwaybox.com is completely legitimate. You will receive at the discounted price the very same seats you would have gotten for the regular price if you had not entered the code.

A similar source is theatermania.com.

Unless you are buying sold out shows at higher than box office prices (a service that is also provided by BroadwayBox), mostly when you click on a discount link, you are no longer dealing with BroadwayBox anyway. It takes you directly to either Ticketmaster or Telecharge, the two OFFICIAL ticketing agencies for Broadway theatres. It is really just a service that provides you with the discount codes that you then use with the official agencies. No worries at all!

what shows have you found good prices for on Broadwaybox.com? I am looking for a musical

Playbill.com has Chicago, Guys and Dolls, Phantom, Mama Mia and others. There's even tix for South Pacific until the end of March. You have to register online to access the discounts.

Thanks so much for the reassurance! We are fulfilling a promise we made years ago to our youngest daughter--nyc for her 16th birthday! We'll be there for 3 evenings and she wants to see a broadway show each night! She's picked Chicago and Rock of Ages so far. Thanks again!!
